Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 143: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 22

On the third day of April, Liu Baijiao got married.

If this marriage had not been arranged by the Emperor, it would have been the biggest joke in the capital.

As the groom, Prince Yongping went to meet the bride, with a gloomy face, and seemed reluctant to go to the door of Zhang's house. In the end, he was helped down from his horse by a servant. Because the younger generation of the Zhang family stopped the prince and asked him to write a few poems to urge him to get ready, the prince's face turned black on the spot and he didn't say a word to respond.

When he picked up the bride and went back to the palace, he had a cold face the whole time. He got off the horse and kicked the bridal sedan, but he kicked himself and fell down.

After being helped up by the servant, he left the bride in the sedan chair and went into the mansion without looking back, leaving everyone at the gate looking at each other in bewilderment.

The suona player almost got a stitch in the side by blowing the music before the Princess of Anping County, who was called over by the matchmaker, arrived.

Gu Li, who had originally planned to watch the show, was a little panicked. She knew that Liu Baijiao's injuries had not healed yet. After a whole day of tossing and turning, his injuries should be even more serious.

Someone was sent to invite him, but he locked himself in his room and refused to come out.

It was Chu Yansheng who came up to Gu Li in the crowd and whispered some advice.

Gu Li was surprised, "Master Chu, why are you here?"

Chu Yansheng returned to the idle young man he was when she first met him. "After all, I was once a drinking buddy of the prince. He is getting married today, so of course I have to come and ask for a glass of wedding wine."

Gu Li was worried that this man would bring up the matter of repaying a favor regardless of the occasion, so she nodded and thanked him for his proposal. She called the butler and whispered a few words to him.

In the end, the girl from the Zhang family got married to a big rooster.

As for the high hall, the old princess who was supposed to be present was not there. There was only a tablet for the late old prince. This was another hot topic of discussion among the people.

Fortunately, the girl from the Zhang family was calm enough. She didn't say a word the whole time and remained silent and contented, as if she had no idea what was happening outside the veil.

After going through a lot of trouble to get the bride into the bridal chamber, the guests had a wedding banquet without a toast from the groom and left in groups of three or four.

Some gossipers started talking enthusiastically about today's strange and humorous wedding before they even stepped out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

Gu Li, who has lived in the Prince's Mansion for five or six years, can be considered half the master of the mansion. She helps the housekeeper deal with the final matters of the banquet, counting the gifts from today's guests one by one and registering them into the warehouse.

The old housekeeper was directing people to work while sighing.

"Oh, Your Highness is too petty. This is a marriage granted by the Emperor. How can you be so disrespectful to the Zhang family?"

"Fortunately, our princess is sensible and made the wedding go smoothly to the end."

She followed Gu Li and said, "Cousin, you are the only sensible person in this mansion. Can you send someone to persuade the prince? He can't leave the princess alone in the study on the wedding night. If the emperor knew about this, he would blame our prince again!"

The old butler was an old man who was used to being employed by her aunt. He had also watched Gu Li grow up. Gu Li couldn't ignore his mumbling.

"Today is my cousin's wedding, and I am not allowed to go to my cousin and his wife's residence at this time." She pointed to a nanny left by her aunt, "Mammy, please go to my cousin's study with the housekeeper."

The nanny represents the old princess's face, and the prince has to give her some face. The old butler happily led people to the West Garden.

Gu Li's feet were numb from standing all day. "Let's talk about the rest tomorrow. Lock the door of the warehouse and everyone go back to rest."

Gu Li returned to her own courtyard, looked at Bai Lu who was already asleep in the side room, dragged her tired body, changed her clothes, and climbed onto the bed.

He found a comfortable sleeping position in the soft quilt, and just as his heavy eyelids closed, he was halfway through a long, deep breath when a loud, terrified shout suddenly resounded over the sky above the Prince's Mansion.

"ah-----"

The servants who were still busy in the mansion were so frightened that they shuddered, huddled together in fear, and looked towards the brightly lit Chengde Courtyard.

Chengde Courtyard, the main courtyard of Xiyuan, should have been the busiest new house today.

Gu Li was frightened by the scream, but she was too tired, so she turned over and planned to see Zhou Gong again.

But the next moment, there was a knock on her door.

Bai Shuang, who was sleeping in the outer room, had already put on her clothes and went out to open the door.

Soon, Bai Shuang hurried in, pulled aside the two layers of bed curtains, and looked at Gu Li who was sleeping under the quilt, "Miss, something happened in Chengde Courtyard. The prince seems to be crazy!"

"Ah?" Gu Li suddenly opened her eyes, pulled off the quilt, turned over and sat up, "Why did he go crazy?"

Bai Shuang bent down to help the young lady put on her shoes, and brought her a set of clothes. "Mammy said that she and the old housekeeper had finally persuaded the prince to go to the princess's courtyard to unveil the wedding veil and drink the wedding wine. Everything was fine, but before the maid and the others left the main courtyard, the prince ran out with his robes scattered and his hands on his head, shouting and screaming, and even fell down----"

Gu Li:-----

Is Liu Bojiao really crazy?

Why is this.

"Hurry, let's go to Chengdeyuan and take a look." Gu Li's sleepiness was suddenly awakened.

Could it be that the wife he married was so ugly that the lustful Liu Bojiao was scared silly?

A little maid led the way with a lantern in front. Gu Li walked in the dark, panting and sweating on her forehead. It took them a long time to arrive at the gate of Chengde Courtyard.

There was total silence in the West Garden, as if the crazy shouting just now was just her hallucination. If the maids and old women waiting outside had not all huddled together, Gu Li would have suspected that Bai Shuang had spread the rumor by mistake.

"Where is the prince?" Gu Li asked the maid in the yard.

"My cousin, the prince has returned to the study in the front yard."

Gu Li took a deep breath, looked toward the window of the main courtyard where a figure was reflected, and walked in.

In the back room of the main courtyard were the maids and servants that Zhang Jinwei brought from the Zhang family. When they saw Gu Li coming in, they came over to greet her and said, "Our princess has fallen asleep."

Gu Li:-----

Her brain was not enough. How big was the heart of this new cousin-in-law, the princess?

She turned a blind eye to the farce that day, and on the wedding night, even when the groom ran away madly, she was still able to sleep peacefully.

It made her, an outsider, seem a little redundant.

"Since the princess sister-in-law is already asleep, I won't disturb her." Gu Li turned around and left. She didn't even want to care about the crazy Liu Baijiao. She went back to her own yard and fell asleep.

What is it all about!

The next day, Gu Li was mercilessly woken up by Bai Shuang, "Miss, Miss, wake up quickly, it's getting late!"

Gu Li burrowed deeper into the quilt impatiently. Didn't she always sleep until she woke up naturally? Why was it still late?

Bai Shuang was helpless, "The princess will come to our East Garden soon. Although the old princess is not here, she doesn't need to serve tea, but you are not in the mansion, so you still need to come and recognize your relatives."

Gu Li: That’s not necessary.

However, she really wanted to meet this extraordinary woman.
